Naturally occurring fluorescence in transparent insect wings [PDF]

Journal of Luminescence 254, 119490, 2023, 2021
In spite of the crucial role it is believed to play in nature, fluorescence in natural organisms remains under-investigated from optical, chemical and biological perspectives. One example is the transparent wings of insects from the order Hemiptera: fluorescence emission has so far not been reported in any of the 3,000 described species of the ...

Exploring the Dynamics of Virulent and Avirulent Aphids: A Case for a "Within Plant" Refuge [PDF]

, 2021
The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an invasive pest that can cause severe yield loss to soybeans in the northcentral United States. A tactic to counter this pest is the use of aphid-resistant soybean varieties. However, the occurrence of virulent biotypes can alter plant physiology and impair the use of this management ...

A two-in-one superhydrophobic and anti-reflective nanodevice in the grey cicada $\textit{Cicada orni}$ (Hemiptera) [PDF]

J. Appl. Phys. 116, 024701 (2014), 2014
Two separated levels of functionality are identified in the nanostructure which covers the wings of the grey cicada $\textit{Cicada orni}$ (Hemiptera). The upper level is responsible for superhydrophobic character of the wing while the lower level enhances its anti-reflective behavior.
